English through the use of smartphone apps as motivation for students from the School of Tourism and Gastronomy

With students spending up to 20% of their in-class time texting, emailing, and checking social media, it is no wonder the problem about smartphones in the classroom arises. This article presents results of a piece of research focused on the analysis and reflection of the smartphone applications used with higher education students in order to provide, as well as to improve, their results in departmental exams while they are studying English at a professional level.
 The study took place over one semester of a curricular English course where smartphone applications were carefully selected and integrated into the current didactic units of the standardized institutional English program, with the purpose of finding, in the school of tourism and gastronomy, not only a solution, but a different approach to turning the problem into part of an updated methodology for the foreign language classroom. 
 The results of this research are expected to have a significant impact on the improvement of the methodology used by teachers at all the schools on our institutional English program with the effect that, once the teachers begin to implement the systematic use of smart phone applications in the delivery of their lessons, learners will hopefully perceive the English course as more relevant and meaningful and be motivated to achieve the expected results.

Competency-based education: a multi-variable study of tourism vocational high school graduates

ABSTRACT Recent studies have revealed that competency-based education (CBE) does not facilitate authentic learning or encourage students to develop a career in the tourism business. This study aimed to propose a conceptual model implementing CBE for career development and job satisfaction. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to 217 graduates of a tourism vocational high school in Jakarta. A quantitative method was applied. The results showed that this successfully explained the implementation of CBE and competency-based assessment (CBA) as a proposed model of job opportunities and career development for graduates of tourism schools. The research identified the improvement measures and preemptive actions taken by the principal and teachers of the school. At the initial stage, discipline, hard work, and career development through continual learning should be emphasized to prevent any negative effects when students undertake internships or seek job placement in the workplace. It was also revealed that CBE as a single variable should be combined with CBA and career development to gain job satisfaction. The limitation of this study is the duration of the research. It did not use a longitudinal time frame to measure the real career development from the end user point of view in a broader area of population. Although this study focuses on competency and learning theories, it does not consider the latest competencies and other theories such as talent development of human resources. For future studies could be based on focus-group discussions with experts using a longitudinal analysis to consider tourism growth dynamics over time, using talent development theory is also recommended.

The role of hospitality & tourism schools in promoting gender equity

Hospitality and tourism (H&T) schools worldwide play a prominent role in promoting gender equity both in education and in the H&T sector, because they set the foundation for future H&T leaders on how they perceive, approach, and address gender inequalities. This article looks broadly at gendered roles in the global H&T sector and gender equity in H&T schools. It then identifies actionable ways that H&T schools can promote greater gender equity to pave the way for a diverse and blanced workforce that meets the needs of a rapidly expanding sector worldwide.

A Study on the Attitudes of the Tourism Management Students to Applied Culinary Classes and Course Outcomes

Turizm sektörü, önemli hizmet alt sektörlerinden biri olup, bu sektörün istihdamına katkı sunacak personelin gerekli mesleki donanıma sahip olması elzemdir. Ancak özellikle fakülteler nezdinde turizme yönelik mesleki eğitim çeşitli sebeplerden ötürü ikinci planda kalmaktadır. Bu durum zaman içerisinde öğrencilerin sektörün işleyişinden uzaklaşmasına ve özellikle stajlar ile tanıştığı turizm hizmetlerinden soğumasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu nedenle özellikle fakültelerde mesleki eğitime yönelik uygulamalı derslerin verilmesi ve bu derslere yönelik bir bilinç aşılanması önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmada, Kastamonu Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesi Turizm İşletmeciliği bölümü öğrencilerinin uygulamalı mutfak eğitimine ilişkin tutumları ile öğrencilerin uygulamalı mutfak dersleri kapsamında sunduğu hizmete yönelik müşteri memnu-niyetini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Buna binaen öğrencilerin dersi almadan önce ve aldıktan sonraki tutumlarında; ders kapsamında sunulan hizmete yönelik müşteri memnuniyeti ile normal zamanda sunulan hizmet arasındaki memnuniyet düzeyinde herhangi bir farklılık olup olmadığı ölçülmüştür. Araştırma kapsamında toplam 170 öğrenci anketine ve toplam 495 müşteriye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma 2017-2018 güz yarıyılı içeri-sinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin uygulamadan önceki ve sonraki düşüncelerine ilişkin faktör ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Mutfak personelinin sunduğu hizmet ile ders kapsamında sunulan hizmete yönelik müşteri memnuniyetinde personel kalitesi, hizmet kalitesi ve genel memnuniyet açısından anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir.

Studies on prospects of open and distance learning system for empowerment of farming community in naxal affected areas of Chandauli District, (U.P.) India

A study was carried out in Chandauli district of UP to assess the prospects of ODL system for the empowerment of farming community and improvement of their life with sustainable development of agriculture in naxal affected areas. In fact, Chandauli district is one of the districts among the two hundred and fifty (250) backward rated districts in India. In Chandauli,rice based cropping system prevails. Natural hazards of drought and flood are very common in district which limit the developmentof agriculture. Area of Vindhyan valley including Navgarh belt lies in Chakiya talluka of Chandauli district recognized as naxalaffected area . More than ninety percent (90%) of population depends on agriculture and animal husbandry for their livelihood in this area. Agriculture is nature dependent and traditional, which can be categorized as subsistence farming. More than fifty percent (50%) farming families have a land holding of less than one hectare and have no other option of alternative employment. Approximately forty five percent (45%) families of area belong to SC categories. People of the area face continuous harassment from naxalite and police both. No educational opportunities of higher education except a degree college is available in Chakiya Talluca. Geographical situation of the area and beautiful waterfalls in Naugarh provide immense scope for organic farming of horticultural crop production in the Chandauli district. But due to nuxalite activities and resource poor population in Navgarh block, most of government initiatives become null and vide and development schemes couldn’t reach properly to its beneficiaries. Govt. agencies also found it difficult to transfer technology properly to farming community due to lack of awareness and education in the area like Navgarh. Situations are becoming worse and Chakiya has been left behind in the race of development than the two other Tallucas of Chandauli district. Study reveals that 90.22 percent people are living below poverty line, belongs to rural areas and literacy rate in target area is less than forty nine percent (49%) than the district average of 69.90 percent. Data obtained from the study on GAP analysis between existing and adoption of modern agricultural practices revealed that need base and location. Specific scientific agricultural practices can double the farmers income but due to lack of awareness and no education in farming community, transfer of technology in the area is very poor. In such condition, It was observed that skill development and education may be used as tool for breaking the vicious circle of Unemployment –Poor production-Less job opportunity. As farmers are not able to spare money and time for attending training/classes at any conventional educational/training institutions, Open and Distance learning seems most desirable educational system for remote areas like Naugarh. Areas identified for skill development in the study were 1. Organic production technology of crops 2. Dairy production technology 3. Improved techniques of Fruits and vegetables production 4. Marketing and management of farming inputs 5. Processing and value addition in fruits and vegetables. 6. Trainings on Sericulture, Bee keeping and poultry forming etc. Programmes of School of Agriculture (SOA) and School of Tourism and Hospitality Service anagement (SOTHSM), IGNOU may be suggested as most promising for poverty alleviation & livelihood security with sustainable production to change the quality of life in the area under study as ODL system is observed suited most for the area under study. These are 1.P.G. Diploma in Plantation Management, 2.P.G. Diploma in Food Safety & Quality Management and 3.P.G. Certificate in Agriculture Policy. In case of diploma programmes 4.Diploma in Dairy Technology, 5.Diploma in Value added products from Fruits and Vegetables and 6.Diploma in Production of Value added products from Cereals, Pulses and Oilseeds. 7.Diploma in Fish Production Technology and 8.Diploma in Watershed Management found suitable and job oriented programme for the area, For the development of basic skill for self employment and capacity building 9. Certificate in Organic Farming,10.Certificate in Sericulture, 11.Certificate in Bee keeping, 12.Certificate in Water Harvesting Management, and 13.Diploma and Certificate in tourism studies were assessed very useful far farming community. These programmes are job oriented in nature and important for skill development and generation of self employment in farming communities. Digital Learning Centre may also be recommended to establish in area of Naugarh for these programmes . It may be concluded that agriculture education and skill development through Open & Distance Learning will be most important tool in development of new breeds of entrepreneur, increase employment opportunity and higher earning with better conservation of natural resources in naxal affected area of Chandauli district and it will open a way to get back peoples of Chandauli in main stream of Social Development

Challenges in the Implementation of CLIL in Higher Education: From ESP to CLIL in the Tourism Classroom

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has often been touted as an effective means of enhancing the language proficiency gains among its learners due to its focus on content over form and higher cognitive demand. However, cautions have been raised regarding the varying conditions and contexts that need to be taken into consideration in order to ensure its effectiveness. This study aimed to analyze the outcome of switching from an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program to a CLIL program in the fourth and fifth semesters of the School of Tourism at the University of Azuay. Study participants were randomly divided into two groups: a CLIL (experimental) and a non-CLIL group (control), where the former received CLIL instruction and the latter received ESP instruction for an average of five hours per week over a period of two consecutive semesters. The findings revealed no significant increases in language proficiency or differences in achievement between the two groups, thus suggesting that the starting language level of learners influenced the results of the CLIL program.

Tourism research and career: opening the black box

ABSTRACTThe academia competitive landscape has made research increasingly important. Extant literature has studied specific dimensions of research performance and conducting good research. This exploratory study examines the habits and routine behaviour in conducting good research, guided by a constructivist grounded theory approach. Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with academics of different seniorities from six tourism schools, followed by content analyses and drawing relevant theories from calling, grit and self-determination, leading to a theory-based emerging framework. Five habits and twenty-seven routine behaviours were identified with implications on academic career management, institutional planning, and recruitment.

Competences in higher education tourism internships

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the level of correspondence between the academic training received by students and the demands of the job market. This was achieved by analysing the competences that are developed in internships to provide useful information for universities, students and tourism companies.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative analysis was carried out using questionnaires administered to the supervisors of students on curricular internships. The level of tourism competences of students on the bachelor degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management at the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management Sant Ignasi was assessed. A descriptive analysis and comparisons of means were carried out to investigate differences in competences between students undertaking internships, according to the hotel department and category.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that students undertaking internships improve their competences. Whether they undertake internships in one department or another does not affect the level of achievement of most competences. However, the category of a hotel does influence the level of development of the acquired competences.Research limitations/implicationsA questionnaire should be administered to students on their perceptions of the achievement of competences, as this could be compared with the supervisors’ perceptions.Practical implicationsThe study generates extremely valuable information for companies, universities and students, as it reveals which competences are attained and to what extent. Based on these results, universities can adapt their training activities and the hotel industry will have information on learning processes during internships.Originality/valueThe analysis provides an innovative research, a real assessment by employers of the competences attained. It also identifies the need for more research on the subject related to employers’ perceptions of the level of competences that students develop in the workplace.

Transformation process of tourism schools into faculties in Turkey

This study aims to explore the reasons for and the process of transformation of the tourism and hospitality management schools into tourism faculties in Turkey. The transformation process started in 2012 in universities, and this study presents witnesses for the early periods of the change. Thematic analysis of qualitative data gathered from focus groups, interviews and documents showed that bringing prestige to the department and attaining a better status both in society and in the university were the main motives for the change. Additionally, discussion of findings with theories of new institutionalism indicated the effects of isomorphic processes, decoupling in organizational practices, and pragmatic approach towards sustaining the former comfortable practices of school structure. Study findings are mostly consistent with early arguments of neo-institutionalism to explain the transformation process but also challenge the theory by discussing the context-specific role of the state to regulate and manipulate the change.

It also provides a theoretical basis for the coordinated development of economy and ecological protection. Using the partial correlation spatial statistical analysis, we investigated the spatio-temporal variation in the trade-off and synergy between ecosystem services (net primary productivity (NPP), soil conservation, water conservation, and food supply) and analyzed its influencing factors through the study of Grain-for-Green Program (GFGP) and non-Grain-for-Green Program (non-GFGP). We also assessed the effect of terrain slope on the dynamic changes in the trade-off and synergy during 1993-2013. The results obtained were as follows. (1) Various kinds of ecosystem services in Yanan have different correlations. We found that food supply and soil conservation, food supply and water conservation, and food supply and NPP have a trade-off relationship. There was a synergistic relationship between NPP and soil conservation, NPP and water conservation, and soil conservation and water conservation. (2) In addition, between 1993 and 2013, this synergistic relationship showed a downward trend, whereas, the trade-off relationship demonstrated an upward trend. (3) Furthermore, a comparison of the dynamic changes in the trade-off and synergy between GFGP and non-GFGP showed that various ecosystem services in GFGP have a synergistic relationship, and it continued to increase, but it showed a conflicting relationship in non-GFGP. (4) The conflict between ecosystem services in the area of 15°-25° was obvious, but in the area of > 25°, the synergistic relationship was evident. (5) In terms of the synergistic relationship between NPP and water conservation, the strongest evidence was found in the north of Yanan and the lowest was observed in the south. Moreover, the strongest trade-off relationship between NPP and food supply was in the north, whereas, the weakest was in the east. While exploring the trade-off between water conservation and food supply, we found that it is the strongest in the southest of Yanan and the lowest in the north. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献
